Study Notes
Chartering in Shipping
- Chartering is a concept where someone contracts with a shipowner for the use of all or part of their vessel.
- The shipowner gets a relatively assured income, and the charterer gets the right to use the carrying capacity of the vessel on the most favourable terms.
Charter Parties
- Written contracts covering the leasing of a ship are known as "charter parties", which derives from the Medieval Latin phrase "carta partita", meaning "divided document".
- This custom was used to ensure the authenticity of a document by executing the contract twice on the same piece of paper, then tearing it into two irregular portions, each party taking one portion.
Types of Charters
- Voyage Charter: hiring of a vessel and crew for a voyage between a loading port and a discharge port, paying the vessel owner on a per-ton or lump sum basis.
- Contract of Affreightment: shipowner undertakes to carry a number of cargoes within a specified period of time on a specified route.
- Time Charter: hiring of a vessel for a specific period of time, where the charterer selects the ports and directs the vessel.
- Trip Time Charter: a short time charter agreed for a specified route only.
- Bareboat Charter (Demise Charter): hiring of a vessel without administration or technical maintenance, where the charterer gets full control and responsibility for the vessel.
Chartering Terms
- Laytime: a period specified for loading and unloading cargo, with demurrage paid by the charterer if exceeded, and despatch paid to the charterer if saved.
- Freight: payment for the use of the vessel.
- Freight Rate: may be on a per-ton basis, in Worldscale points, or a total sum per day.
